Just a note to remind everyone that Cornell offers a distance learning course in Canine genetics. There are two sessions open this year (so far): one starting 01/21/2002 and one starting 03/25/2002. this course goes through basic concepts in genetics, with special emphasis on dog related information. Single locus trait inheritance--it does not cover polygenic inheritence but lays the groundwork. More info at http://www.ansci.cornell.edu/cat/cg01/index.html Gina [log in to unmask]
